I don't know that much about Adam Eaton, but what I've seen I'm not really that impressed. Is he really worth giolito +? How should I feel about this as a Nats fan?

Adam Eaton is real good but... but Lucas Giolito is Also Real Good.

If you're gonna toss him you might as well go as hard as you can for Cutch.

Super happy with the Braves' decision to back way the hell out of this market. One more year of taking lumps and seeing who develops and then in 2018 it's young studs, trade bait, and money to burn.


(of course, having said that, watch Coppolella go and make some huge weird trade just because he's getting antsy)

Also what the hell did Eaton do to earn 6.2 WAR? He slashed .284/.362/.428 with 14 homers which is good but not that good. Is his fielding that stellar?

A large part of his value is tied up in being a good defensive RF and not a good defensive CF, so that's why the team with Bryce Harper on it had to acquire him.

In a corner he's elite defensively.

In center where he's gonna play, not so much.

I don't think that'll happen. Quintana is still signed for another four years, so unless the Sox get blown away I think they'll just hold onto him. Of course that leaves quite a few players that could be dealt. David Robertson, Nate Jones, Melky, Abreu, Frazier and James Shields if anyone is drunk.

The jays could really use Blackmon but man, Stroman is like maybe one of my favourite players of all time, full stop. So gently caress that.

Probably less since Cutch is older and has less years of control on a good deal.

Eaton wasn't bad last year. He's just an idiotic locker room cancer right there with Sale.

I feel like the Astros are going to give up Francis Martes, Kyle Tucker, then some combination of two of Forrest Whitely, Derek Fisher, AJ Reed or some other random top 20 prospect

What I don't get is that apparently the Nationals "balked" at the ask of Giolito + Lopez for Cutch, but then they turned around and blew that and more on Adam Eaton? :psyduck:

That's a package that would be a solid foundation for picking up somebody like Archer or another young cost controlled ace. Instead they blew it on a guy who's apparently garbage in the position they're going to fit him into. Okay.

Soler's interesting, I don't think the Royals have had a guy with his projected power since like...Bo. I'm sure I'm wrong there, and more sure that he'll never actually reach that potential, but drat have the Royals hated home runs for basically ever. Gonna miss Wade a lot though :(

Adam Eaton is very good and is on a very good deal for several more seasons but that is way too much to give up for him.

Is there some sort of personal issue with Eaton that I'm not aware of because I always thought he seemed pretty cool
